Later story.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t scary or anything like that.
First of all, the body was not tied up or anything like that, and the facility itself was quite good.
It felt like I was visiting a pension-like place.
I didn’t feel anxious or anything like that.
If anxiety had risen on my back, I think I would have been careful.
“Hey, is this Kyunghee?”
I tried to suppress my tiredness and opened my mouth.
A little time passed, but there was no reply from Kyunghee.
So, I wanted to look around, so I looked inside the room.
The bed occupied most of the room, as if it were only a bedroom.
And the rest was occupied by a wardrobe hanging on the wall.
There was also a bathroom in the corner of the room, but everything was there.
At least you can do everything you can in the bathroom.
After I finished looking around there, I smiled.
I thought that if I was confined, I would probably be confined to an officetel.
I never imagined that I would be confined to such a nice facility.
“Well, it doesn’t matter.”
Maybe it’s because the mental fatigue accumulated over the past few weeks has been relieved.
It wasn’t even a big shock.
I wondered if I was anxious or if Kyung-hee might attack me.
I don’t feel anxious, and Kyung-hee has never tried to suppress me with force.
So I was relieved and lay down on the soft bed again to rest.
Now I see that the door is open.
It seemed unlikely that I would lay down and rest without even going outside, so I slowly walked out of the room.
The first thing I noticed when I went out was how great this facility was.
Pensions are not ordinary pensions, and there were none.
The kitchen was lined with cooking utensils and appliances from various high-end brands.
There was a huge wall-mounted TV in the living room, and basically the building itself was very spacious.
The bathroom was big enough for one person to use, so I guessed the scale.
There was even a second or third floor, the ceiling was high and there were stairs.
Thanks to that, I didn’t feel like I was imprisoned at all.
No, if you ask for help because you are imprisoned in a place like this, you will be treated as a joke.
Confined to a pension with a game console and a high-end PC installed in the room?
It was clear that he would probably be joking or swearing.
“How much did you spend… ”
A lot of money will do.
There was a time when Kyung-hee grumbled that she was worried about taxes now.
But that doesn’t mean I didn’t have a lot of money to borrow or do that.
I don’t know what the hell happened, but I thought it would be nice if it wasn’t our money at least.
After taking a deep breath, I tried to open the front door and windows as well.
It’s probably locked anyway, but there’s nothing wrong with just opening it.
Strangely, however, the window was not locked.
The front door just opened lightly, which made me even more anxious.
“… ah.”
I could see why the front door hadn’t been locked.
All around was a forest and trees.
And whether it was a pension in the mountains, it felt like looking down from an apartment.
In a place like this, it was best not to run away even if your life was in danger.
Even if he ran away in the first place, Kyung-hee would come after him.
Well, it seems there is a way, though.
It must have been made to allow cars to pass by rather than people, and the condition was rough.
It was clear that he would fall and get seriously injured if he made a mistake, and he was starting to feel the popularity.
So I just looked around and went back to the pension neatly.
To be honest, all I can think about now is that I want to sleep.
It’s like drinking a lot of alcohol, and it’s because I’ve been falling asleep quite a lot.
It would be convenient to think that we can solve it now.
The moment I was about to return to the bedroom, the front door hurriedly opened and Kyung-hee came inside.
Kyung-hee’s appearance was more dangerous than I thought.
He must have thought that I had run away, and it seemed that he came after half-transforming.
His shoes had been thrown off, and a little hair had already grown on his arms.
I don’t know why she’s wearing an apron, but her eyes are red and ugly.
After Kyung-hee realized that I hadn’t run away for a while, she sat down with a dejected expression on her face.
Kyung-hee, who finished the transformation with a bit of a bloody sound, avoided my gaze.
I thought that there would be no choice but to avoid it.
It was downright close to a crime.
Although the person involved did not consider it a crime, it was only a matter of time before the matter would escalate if they were sued.
“What can I say, Kyunghee?”
I pretended not to know anything and said that.
Kyunghee trembled like an aspen tree.
I was breaking out in a cold sweat, so I thought I was really cornered.
Of course, I didn’t mean to be bruised or anything like that.
First, you need to understand the situation.
“Uh, no… !”
Kyunghee said that and shook her head.
He seemed intimidated like when we first met, to the point where I felt sorry for me for questioning him.
But I couldn’t back down.
I said with a deep sigh.
“What will I do with university and what will I do with other problems?”
“ah… that’s… ”
“And where is this place, and that I can go out later. There are prices and things like that.”
“If you say… Are you going to scold me?”
Kyunghee’s ears perked up.
I shook my head and finally figured out the situation.
First of all, this was a deep mountain valley in Gangwon-do.
It is said that it is a pension that advertises that you can ski when it snows.
It is said that Kyung-hee booked it a few days ago with the help of the NIS.
The reason was simple.
All this while, I felt like I was neglecting Kyunghee, so I felt like I was going to die of anxiety.
He said he would do anything once the exam was over, so he said he wanted to get away from the world for a week or two.
yeah, no problem whatsoever.
In fact, it was about a vacation under the guise of confinement.
And since it’s right after the exam, the professors won’t overdo it and harass the students.
So even if I take a break for a week, I should be able to catch up.
“A university?”
“… That, crab.”
“If I only have 3 absences, I will fail the course because it is an F.”
This couldn’t help but make me angry.
I barely followed the class while doing that shit.
If I hadn’t taken any action, I was thinking of going down this mountain on foot.
Fortunately, after hearing Kyung-hee’s story, it seemed that the two agents took care of it.
It is said that it was treated as a sudden participation in an academic meeting hosted by a suspiciously competent professor.
Of course, the talented professor actually held an academic meeting, and I was able to join it via videoconference.
As the meeting continued for the next week, the alibi was certain.
In addition, thanks to the two agents taking care of the documents for recognition and things like that, there is no need to go to college for two weeks at least.
Now that I look at it, it seems that both agents have figured it out.
It seems that Kyunghee had no intention of imprisoning me.
It was clear that the fact that I had to go to the headquarters the other day was a lie.
He must have been working with an agent at that time.
And I could roughly guess why the NIS directly intervened.
I sat down on the sofa in the living room of the pension, struggling to suppress the rushing fatigue.
Wifi didn’t work, but I could still read texts.
Agent Park Chan-ho explained the situation in more detail.
Of course, the content itself was not very different from what Kyunghee had said.
It didn’t make much of a difference other than asking me to tell him if I thought I was going to stay a little longer, because I had to create another alibi.
And Agent Park Chan-ho explained to me the reason why this operation was approved.
Recently, research based on Kyung-hee’s DNA has made progress, and it is possible to turn the regenerative power that occurs during the mutation process into a drug.
Thanks to this, even if an arm is cut off, a prototype has been developed that can regenerate as long as sufficient nutrients are ingested.
Currently, in order to catch side effects, Kyung Hee’s DNA, which is at an unrivaled level, is periodically needed.
In order to seek her continued consent, he assisted in this unrealistic operation.
Originally, I would have been uncomfortable with the government’s interference.
I just thought that I could rest in peace now.
I was even certain that I was ready to stay there for at least two weeks.
So I slowly turned off my phone screen.
And he said to Kyung-hee, who was still trembling with anxiety.
“Kyung-hee, did you bring my clothes?”
“yes? yes. I did bring a little too much… ?”
“Where is the closet?”
“Um, that room on the second floor over there.”
“yes? Do you have underwear or pajamas?”
“Everything, of course I brought it.”
“Doesn’t it sound like that?”
“I should have brought mine… ?”
“I’m going to change clothes and sleep in the bedroom from now on, so wake me up at night.”
“… ah?”
Kyunghee put on a blank expression, as if she still couldn’t understand the situation.
And, perhaps belatedly realizing that I rather welcome this situation, he smiled brightly and patted his ears.
Kyung-hee, who had regained her energy by saying that she would prepare for such a wonderful evening, went out again, and I changed clothes in the room that Kyung-hee pointed out earlier.
“I brought this as is.”
There were many miscellaneous things in that room.
It was a room made for the purpose of storage space, and besides a closet, there was also a storage room.
I slowly lifted the first aid kit.
It’s a box that took care of me whenever something happened in the officetel.
For some reason, seeing this box made me feel uneasy.
So I opened the box, but luckily it wasn’t empty or anything like that.
I slowly checked one by one to make sure there were no empty pills, and realized.
There were no birth control pills and condoms that should have been here originally.
I didn’t have anything to write about, but I bought it just in case.
“Well, it doesn’t matter.”
Perhaps the cause of my anxiety was because of those two things.
Apparently there was nothing more to worry about, so I walked to my bedroom and fell asleep as if I had passed out.
